Nha Trang, Vietnam: Inside the Champ Lounge at Cam Ranh airport

The Champ Lounge airside at Cam Ranh airport, Nha Trang: an open room you can read from the door, seating spread through it, and hot food that stays Vietnamese.

Cam Ranh is the airport for Nha Trang, about forty minutes of coast road out of town, and it has two lounges worth knowing about. This is the first of them.

Champ Lounge takes Priority Pass and other access cards, and it's open to domestic and international passengers depending on which terminal you're in. The layout is straightforward and open enough that you can see the whole room from the door, with seating spread out for eating or just waiting.

The hot food leans properly Vietnamese: soups, porridge style dishes and warm comfort food, refilled and rotated through the day. Come hungry rather than curious, and it does the job nicely.

The city itself, monsoon skies and an empty promenade included, is on the Nha Trang story.
